Today starts my third week of eating a vegan diet and I must say I'm pretty sick of it. I am experiencing wonderful things in the stomach department but I am not being very healthy about it. I truly don't like vegetables that much so if I don't go out of my way to make a meal I end up eating grains and meat substitutes which isn't much different from my old way of eating. The main reason I wanted to try this out was to lose weight, I was really excited about the unexpected stomach benefits but I haven't lost anything so I really am not reaching my goal. I'm sure if I ate only veggies I would be loosing weight but my love of bread has been dominating my diet for the last 2 weeks so I'm not loosing the way I thought I would.
I was discussing different eating habits with a friend last night and he brought up the 4 hour body, he had lost weight doing it and I thought I would look into it. I started reading it this morning and it is quite interesting. I'm not sure if I'm going to attempt it because I don't have all the facts but I will keep you updated.
I feel a little odd trying all of these "weight loss fads" because I truly still see myself as a skinny person. The truth is I have 25 extra pounds to lose and a wedding in less than a year so I should get my butt in gear. The book talks about a moment that you have to decide to do it, to finally go after what ever you have been thinking about doing. That is my issue, I can say I want to loose weight all day long but you put a plate of poutine in front of me and I'm going to eat it all. Also it wouldn't have to be just poutine, anything cheesy and delicious I'm in.
In other news, I had a job interview for a Rep position yesterday and I have another one tomorrow via Skype. I'm incredibly scared about having a full time job again but excited for a full time paycheck. I am going to prepare myself tomorrow morning and I really hope I get it but it puts a kink in my other job hunting plans. Should I keep applying for jobs? Should I just wait and see? Laziness tells me to wait, instinct tells me to not put all my eggs in one basket. Also if I end up getting a job at a restaurant do I want that more than a 9-5 job? If there is a possibility of working at the spa should I hold out for it? I have 3 places I think might hire me but no guarantees and no way of knowing when I will know.
